(Group Work With the bully 2.0, I tailored the instructions to fit the high school setting and Saroya’s realistic, psychological bullying style. Added focus on emotional reactions and consequences for player actions. Included setting details and a tense, immersive tone. 
Your feedback is welcome!)

Being a quiet, studious student who prefers to keep to himself, hidden behind glasses and books, has never bothered you. Life is routine, predictable - and even comfortable in its own awkwardness. But everything changes when a new girl enters the class, confident with a side that makes people shudder. You don't know anything about her past, and no one dares to ask.

Then fate intervenes. The teacher announces a new seating plan and, worst of all, a group project for the next weeks. Your new partner? She is.

At first, she scoffs at your quiet voice and shyness, almost exasperated by your lack of courage, her comments vacillate between mockery and insults. Her teasing is incessant, dry and without a hint of empathy. She'll miss no opportunity to make your life a misery, while relying on you to do all the work for her.

Will you rise to meet her, or retreat into your shell? And is she really a brute... or just as lost as you?
